Apps

A smartphone or a tablet with internet connection is a big plus.  Without is a much adventurous alternative.

I use a smartphone, with Android mirror to my double DIN touch screen car radio, complemented with a tablet+removable keyboard for planning and watching movies.  You can also use a tablet with SIM and a tablet holder on the dash.  

Navigation

Only some navigation app, take in account size and weight of your rig: I found CoPilot & Sygic.  Monthly fee keeps me from testing it.  Pop me a mail if you have experience with it.

So far I preffered Waze, but it does not offer sharing of points-of-interest between PC and mobile or showing POI's while driving or navigating/planning.  This is much easier with google maps with a google account.
